Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and to a corresponding device which assist a user in the design phase of a vehicle in determining a possible technical implementation of a vehicle body.
  • CAD Computer Aided Design
  • a sectional diagram covering the entire circumference of the vehicle body part can be generated.
  • This sectional diagram also includes concept sections or sectional views of the divisions between the components, also referred to below as joints.
  • a concept section or a sectional view comprises here a locally limited section at a specific position of the vehicle body.
  • the sectional view represents the geometry planned there and therefore at the same time the required installation space in a plane.
  • the generation of a sectional view is typically time-consuming.
  • the division of the vehicle body into technically implementable components proves to be time-consuming.
  • the present document is concerned with the technical problem of providing a computer-implemented method and a corresponding device which permit a user to speed up the generation of a sectional view of a vehicle body.
  • a method for generating a sectional view of a vehicle body is described.
  • the method can be configured to generate or update a three-dimensional model of a vehicle body.
  • the method can be executed on a computer with a screen.
  • the method can be implemented as part of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program.
  • the invention comprises displaying a first sectional view of the vehicle body on a screen.
  • the first sectional view can be generated on the basis of a current three-dimensional model of the vehicle body (e.g. for a specific first sectional plane) and displayed on the screen.
  • the first sectional view comprises two surfaces of two different components of the vehicle body which adjoin one another at a first transition point.
  • the first transition point is typically located on the selected first sectional plane for which the first sectional view has been generated.
  • the surfaces of the components can be displayed in the first sectional view, e.g. as one-dimensional lines.
  • the method also comprises displaying a joint catalog with a multiplicity of predefined joint types.
  • one joint type defines a predefined joint section for a joint between two mutually adjoining surfaces.
  • the different joint types typically have different joint sections.
  • One joint type of the multiplicity of predefined joint types can also define a three-dimensional model of a corresponding joint. It is therefore possible for the three-dimensional model of the vehicle body to have a joint between the two components added to it in an efficient way on the basis of a selected joint type.
  • One joint type of the multiplicity of predefined joint types is typically configured in such a way that a corresponding joint between two components can actually be fabricated in a manufacturing method.
  • the predefined joint types can be defined in such a way that the corresponding joints can also be manufactured (where possible in an efficient way). It is therefore possible for errors during the generation of a three-dimensional model of the vehicle body, which affect the manufacture of an actual vehicle body on the basis of the three-dimensional model, to be avoided early.
  • the method also comprises detecting a selection of a first joint type from the joint catalog.
  • the selection can be detected, in particular, using an input means of a computer.
  • the method comprises automatically inserting the predefined joint section for the first joint type at the first transition point into the first sectional view displayed on the screen.
  • the joint section can be inserted here in such a way that the surfaces of the two components are connected to one another at the first transition point by the joint section.
  • the three-dimensional model of the vehicle body can be updated by means of the selected first joint type, with the result that an edge between the two components comprises the joint which corresponds to the first joint type.
  • An updated first sectional view can then be determined from the updated model and displayed on the screen.
  • Three-dimensional models of a vehicle body can be supplemented with respect to a transition between components in an efficient and reliable way by providing a predefined joint catalog.
  • the generation of sectional views can be speeded up with a predefined joint catalog.
  • One joint type can define standard values for one or more joint parameters for the corresponding joint.
  • the one or more joint parameters can comprise e.g. a joint width of the joint section between the surfaces of the two components and/or a protrusion of the surface of a first component over the surface of a second component at the joint section.
  • a joint can be inserted with these standard values into the model of the vehicle body.
  • the joint section for the first joint type can be inserted into the first sectional view with the standard values for the one or more joint parameters.
  • the addition of a model to the vehicle body and the generation of a sectional view can be speeded up further by providing standard values for joint parameters. Furthermore, possible error sources during the generation of a sectional view can be eliminated.
  • the method can also comprise detecting an input relating to a value for a joint parameter of the first joint type (e.g. using the input means of a computer). Furthermore, the method can comprise automatically inserting (or adapting) the predefined joint section for the first joint type into the first (or in the first) sectional view with the detected value for the joint parameter. It is therefore possible to permit a user to input values for a joint parameter which differ from a standard value, with the result that the model of the vehicle body and/or the first sectional view can be correspondingly adapted and individualized.
  • the multiplicity of predefined joint types of the joint catalog can comprise e.g. at least one joint type for a transition to a fuel tank cover as one of the two components.
  • the multiplicity of predefined joint types of the joint catalog can comprise at least one joint type for a transition to a seat bench of a motorcycle as one of the two components.
  • the joint catalog can comprise at least one joint type for a transition to an at least partially standardized component with at least partially standardized dimensions. The changing of a value of a joint parameter for such a joint type can be prohibited, with the result that it is automatically ensured that the joint to the standardized component has predefined standardized properties.
  • the method can also comprise displaying a second sectional view of the vehicle body on the screen, wherein the second sectional view comprises the two surfaces of the two components of the vehicle body which adjoin one another at a second transition point.
  • the second sectional view comprises the two surfaces of the two components of the vehicle body which adjoin one another at a second transition point.
  • a further (i.e. second) sectional view for another sectional plane from the model of the vehicle body.
  • the method can be embodied in such a way that the predefined joint section for the first joint type is automatically displayed at the second transition point in the second sectional view displayed on the screen (without a renewed selection of the joint type having to be made).
  • a device for generating a three-dimensional model of a vehicle body.
  • the device comprises a processor, input means and a screen.
